lost Equipment for Various Sports near East Beach

Hi, I'm Grace Kim. I lost my equipment for various sports around 6:30 p.m. Friday near the East Beach basketball courts along Cabrillo Boulevard in Santa Barbara. It was in a black duffel bag with a red drawstring; inside was a soccer ball, a tennis racket, and a pair of basketball shoes. I've been depending on this gear for weekend practices and a local league, and it's stressing me out to be without it. I last had the bag near the lifeguard stand, then walked to Shoreline Park before realizing it was gone. If found, please know it's mine and I hope to have it back soon.

Lost travel adapters

Hi, I'm Sofia Martinez. I lost my travel adapters while wandering along State Street in downtown Santa Barbara, around 2:15 p.m. on Wednesday, near Stearns Wharf. I had stopped for a quick coffee and was jotting notes for a trip when I realized the adapters were missing. They are essential for staying connected, and I am anxious about making the next leg of my journey without them. If anyone picked them up, I would be grateful to know so I can arrange a pickup through the site.

Lost: Holiday decorations from the porch

This is a lost item. At 2:15 p.m. on Saturday, I stepped out for a quick walk along State Street and returned to my Santa Barbara apartment to find the box of holiday decorations missing from the balcony. They were carefully packed in a red box, ready for the season, including a hand-painted wreath and a set of garlands. I can hear the neighborhood chatter from Stearns Wharf as I think about them, and I feel a mix of frustration and heartbreak because these decorations mean so much to my family. Please keep an eye out for them near Stearns Wharf and the nearby coastal path; they belonged to our little, tradition-filled celebrations.

UCSB student ID on blue lanyard, lost in Santa Barbara

I lost my UCSB student ID yesterday around 4pm near the Starbucks at the corner of State Street and Anacapa. It's a white plastic ID card with my photo and the name 'Priya Patel' printed on it, attached to a blue lanyard with the UCSB logo. There's a tiny coffee stain on the lower left corner and a faint crease along the back edge. The card is standard credit-card size and essential for campus access to the library, dining halls, classes, and dorms, and I'm really hoping someone picked it up and can return it. If you found it, please drop me a message here—I'd be incredibly grateful and can offer a small reward.

Found blue Nike swim trunks near East Beach

I found a pair of blue Nike swim trunks this afternoon around 2:15pm near the bike racks by East Beach in Santa Barbara. They're men's size M, navy blue with a white Nike swoosh on the left leg and orange piping along the sides. The fabric is clean and in good condition, just a bit sandy from the beach, with no rips or tears. There's a small inner zipper pocket on the right hip, which helps identify them. If this is yours, I’d love to help get them back—tell me a distinguishing detail like the lining color or any logos you remember.

Lost contact: blue Moleskine notebook with emergency contacts

I lost my blue Moleskine pocket notebook yesterday around 3pm near the Starbucks on State Street by Paseo Nuevo. It's a pocket-sized notebook about 3.5 by 5.5 inches, with a black elastic band and a slightly worn blue cover. Inside I keep emergency contacts and a few handwritten reminders; the first page has my initials 'PK' in silver ink, and there’s a small green panda sticker on the back cover. The notebook means a lot to me because it holds my grandma’s handwriting and a few irreplaceable notes, I really need it back. If anyone found it, please email me at [email protected]. I’d be grateful and can offer a small reward.
